JAPAN

()

The month of May tends to be a beautiful month on Japan’s mainland. During this time, the mountains and wooded areas grow into bright, vivid greens.

It's an ideal season for taking a walk in the woods of beautiful fresh green to enjoy some deep breaths in the fresh air.

Today’s Japanese phrase: “Shinryoku no kisetsu desu!” = The season of fresh green has come!

("shinryoku" = fresh green, "kisestsu" = season, "... no .. desu" = it is ... of ... )

This beautiful time doesn’t last long, unfortunately, as soon the steamy rainy season makes it’s way over the country. So, make some time to go out and catch the greenery and fresh air before it’s too late!

Stay safe and enjoy the pleasant season of fresh green!
